Match Time & Date:

15:15 GMT

Prediction: 2-0

Leganes

Villarreal sit in 5th position in the La Liga standings ahead of Matchday 33 and they have slim chances of booking their place in the Champions League. The Yellow Submarine aim to finish the season in top six and a win over Leganes in Saturday’s football match would see the hosts move one step closer to meeting the goal. Fran Escriba’s team totally outplayed Athletic Bilbao in their last home fixture in the league and that is giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Leganes. Villarreal are after their tenth home win of the season and there is every chance the hosts will emerge triumphant in Saturday’s game. The capital club are on a six-match winless run in La Liga and despite the fact that they are only five points clear of the relegation zone, we predict that the visitors will return home empty-handed.

Highlighted Player (Roberto Soldado):

Roberto Soldado is regarded as one of the most famous footballers in the history of Villarreal. The meaning of his surname in Spanish is “the warrior” and it has to be noted that he began his football career at Real Madrid, playing from the B team between 2002 and 2006. The pacey attacker made 16 appearances and scored two goals for the first team, but he was producing the best performances of his career during his three-year spell at Valencia. Soldado scored 59 goals in 101 appearances for los Che, but in 2013 he signed a deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £26 million. The Spanish attacker, who was born on 27 May, 1985 in Valencia, scored for the Spurs on his debut in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, but he netted the goal from the penalty spot. Soldado failed to impress in the 2014/2015 Premier League campaign with Tottenham and, as a result, he was sold to Villarreal on 14 August, 2015. Speaking of his international career, the Villarreal attacker made his Spain debut in June, 2007 against Latvia.

Highlighted Team (Leganes):

Leganes are a Spanish football club that have mostly been playing in lower leagues. Los Pepineros play their home games at Batarque (Madrid) and the capacity of the stadium is just 8,138. Leganes secured their promotion to the Spanish La Liga for the first time ever in 2016 and, no doubt, that is considered the club’s biggest success. Leganes’ bitterest rivals are fellow capital club Getafe and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other in the South Madrid derby. The colour of the team’s home kit is white and blue, whilst their away kits are green. The likes of Pierre Webo, Samuel Eto’o, Ivan Zarandona, Jose Chamot, Catanha, Ruben Falcon, Jordi Lardin and Pedro Lago are famous players who were part of the Batarque outfit in the past. Lady Maria Victoria Pavon is the first female president in the history of the club and she has been in charge of the club since 2009.
